CAT Question of the Day
Answer the question based on the passage given below.
Gibbard took the band name from the title of the song written by Neil Innes and Vivian Stanshall and performed by their group, the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, in The Beatles' 1967 film, Magical Mystery Tour. The song's name was in turn taken from an invented pulp fiction crime magazine, devised by Richard Hoggart as part of his 1957 study of working class culture The Uses of Literacy.

Death Cab for Cutie began as a solo project of Ben Gibbard while he was the guitar player for the band Pinwheel and was recording under the name All-Time Quarterback. As Death Cab for Cutie, Gibbard released a cassette titled You Can Play These Songs with Chords; the release was surprisingly successful and Gibbard decided to expand the project into a complete band.

Which of the below would be a good title for the above passage?
OPTIONS
 
 1)Death Cab for Cutie – the name and the beginning.
 2)Death Cab for Cutie – the Evolution
   
 3)How the Beatles inspired Death Cab for Cutie
 4)The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and its relationship with Death Cab for Cutie
 5)Ben Gibbard's contribution to Death Cab for Cutie
Tip of the Day
RC passages should not be attempted in the last 15 minutes of the test since there is a chance of not having enough time to answer all the questions as RCs tend to take up a lot of time and all questions are generally answered towards the end.
Last year's Question of the day (28-Oct-11)
American activists from a variety of political viewpoints have invoked the Boston Tea Party as a symbol of protest. In 1973, on the 200th anniversary of the Tea Party, a mass meeting at Faneuil Hall called for the impeachment of President Richard Nixon and protested oil companies in the ongoing oil crisis. Afterwards, protesters boarded a replica ship in Boston Harbor, hanged Nixon in effigy, and dumped several empty oil drums into the harbor. In 1998, two conservative US Congressmen put the federal tax code into a chest marked "tea" and dumped it into the harbor.

What can't we learn about the Boston Tea Party from the passage?
OPTIONS
 
 1)The Boston Tea Party wasn't a tea party in the traditional sense of the word.
 2)The Boston Tea Party involved dumping something into the Boston Harbour.
 3)The Boston Tea Party was a protest.
 4)The Boston Tea Party happened because of widespread protests against Richard Nixon.
 5)The Boston Tea Party was political in nature.
